Week 14

This week we were working on our FCAT lesson plans. For my lesson plan I printed out an article on waves since Mrs. Hernandez's class was learning about waves. I had them each read a paragraph aloud and I told them that one FCAT strategy was to highlight or underline important things or facts in the article to help you answer the questions. So as they followed along as the students read, I had them highlight important things. Then after we read the article I had them answer 5 questions that went along with the article and I went over the answers and I asked them if high lightening helped them answer the questions.

week 13

This week we are working on our different projects. We also had to write down three different examples of discipline problems that have happened with a sub, on a bus or in your class. Then when Mrs. Powell came, we had to give her some examples and we learned about how we could handle different discipline problems when we become teachers. This week we also watched videos about different teaching techniques.

This week we did the blooms taxonomy where we rewrote our classmate's objectives using the different blooms taxonomy points. we are also working on different projects due throughout the year. Like the book talk where we chose a book on education to read and write down main points and do a podcast on it. My book that I chose for the book talk project is a book a 7 different keys that can help your child read and understand what they are reading.

Week 10 - Discipline

Before Mrs. Powell had her presentation I really thought it would boring. But it turned out that it was actually pretty good. I liked how she asked us questions like when she asked us who had ever played school when they were younger and frequently played it. I think it really catches our attention when speakers ask questions that we relate to and aren't just random questions that no one knows how to answer. But i think she should of talked more about discipline. It was mainly just about positive and negative discipline and she didn't have us ask her questions about what we should do if this or this happened while we were in a classroom.
